I have wagered on millions of rounds of twenty-one. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have bet on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent an abundance of money at blackjack. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the casino.

I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have gambled on a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this method or beat the casino, still you will have an abundance of fun. This method is built on the idea that 21 appears to be a match of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I play basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial bet again. If I win this hand I then keep in play the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the bet back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely exciting sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a couple of years ago with $750 after 35 mins using this tactic! And a number of months ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!

You need to understand that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the streaks you witness gamble this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.

Bet $5
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the original five dollar bet

Bet 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar

Bet $10
Take $10 paid to you, leave the original 10 dollar wager

Wager $10
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of $20

Wager $20
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 20 dollar bet

Wager $20
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar

Bet $40
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original forty dollar bet

Bet 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar

Bet eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the initial eighty dollar bet

Wager 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $160

Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 160 dollar wager

If you left at this point you would be up $315 !!

It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and lower your bet or the end result will not be the same.
